Transitional SA Dagger by Tiger

A very rare and desirable transitional maker mark! Here we have a Transitional Model 1933 NSKK Dagger (Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrkorps Dienstdolch) by Tiger of Solingen - RZM M7/68. The blade on this one is wonderful! The dark and crisp acid etched "Alles für Deutschland" motto and double "Tiger Solingen"/"RZM M7/68" maker marks are beautifully executed! The crossgrain wonderfully shines against the light! The tip comes to a perfect point and the fit is nice and tight. The blade rates an easy NM. It has only minor spotting along with the common runner marks / surface scratches throughout. The steel based, black enamel painted scabbard body looks excellent! It retains 99%+ paint coverage! There is the slightest pressure mark to the scabbard. The steel based, nickel-silver plated scabbard fittings are in excellent condition, retaining 99%+ plating coverage. The ball retains a perfectly round shape and all four screws remain tightly secured! The scabbard / crossguard fit is near perfect and closes with a snap! The crossguards are zinc based and nickel-silver plated. They are scratched in several spots, mostly to the obverse. The brown hardwood grip is in wonderful condition! The odd pressure mark but no flakes, chips or cracks. The solid aluminum eagle is beautifully detailed with a perfect fit. The SA roundel is retains 99%+ of its enamel and has a perfect fit! Always nice to see the rarer transitional examples!
